“She Trusted Him — Then Her Entire Family Vanished | The Geraldina Peguero-Mancebo Case”

In September 2025, Reading, Pennsylvania became the center of a devastating tragedy involving a young Dominican immigrant family. Geraldina Peguero-Mancebo, her husband Junior Cabrera Colón, and their infant son Jaden vanished without a trace, prompting a desperate search from relatives across state lines and back home in the Dominican Republic.

The investigation revealed a complex web of financial assistance, dependency, and alleged romantic obsession involving 61-year-old José Luis Rodríguez — someone the family had trusted to help them navigate life as new immigrants. Within days, all three family members were found dead in separate locations, and Rodríguez confessed to police.

The case shook the Dominican community in Reading and abroad, raising difficult questions about vulnerability, power dynamics, and the unseen dangers that can emerge when support turns into control. As legal proceedings moved forward, the community mourned and rallied, while investigators continued to explore unresolved elements in Rodríguez’s account, including the possibility of a second person captured on surveillance footage.
